@MJKOP I love the US ones. I don't buy them (I did once when I was a kid), but they're so funny to read when you're waiting in line at the supermarket.

Um, tabloids always make up stuff. They don't report stories they've researched. Unless Hitler was found in a hot tub with two women, as my local supermarket tabloid said.

@HeroOfCybertron Extra features are the worst, right?

@DoctorWily No need for the attitude brother. Could you please give me a link to that article you quoted? I always appreciate new info.

PS: 2+ years after releasing the New 3DS isn't "just after" IMO. In fact, it would match up with how the DSi played out.

@DoctorWily They have said they were working on a console, and they said they were working on the NX. The two are not necessarily one in the same. The 3DS line is more likely to get replaced.

@ashrafkk They tried that with the GameCube. It didn't work out so great. The PS2 crushed it, despite being underpowered.

@LoveSugoi I can't wait for the headline "Handheld device is not as powerful as consoles"

Why is everyone assuming it be a console and not a handheld? That's a more likely meaning behind this.

I think it would be better if he wasn't downing the X1 and PS4. Mutual respect is better.

It should be noted that piracy already exists on the 3DS.

So "Not sure I like" = "Really doesn't like"?
Great logic there.

@Starwolf_UK Sorry, I fixed my mistake. What I meant was there weren't region-specific Korean games. Anyway, that's beside the point. Nintendo can and has bricked modified consoles before.

@Hyperstar96 "Nintendo doesn't have the legal right to brick anyone's system, nor have they ever bricked a system in the past. " That's not true actually. The Wii's 4.2 update introduced a SEEPROM check to see if the Wii was a region-changed Korean Wii. If it was, you'd get a brick.

Korean Wii's were cheaper because they didn't have GC functionality (no Korean Gamecube Games, so no region code for them to match), despite the hardware being there. People would buy them, region-change them to EUR/USA/JAP, then resell them at a higher price.

Hey, Nintendo Life actually got something right about homebrew. Now I don't have to send them a message with the correct information that they will ignore because they don't want to admit they made a mistake.

By the way, for people who suggest that this will "open up piracy", it's too late for that. Flash carts for the 3DS have been around for quite some time.

@Kirk I disagree. With the exception of this latest update, there have been some very nice features.

CD/DVD playback will never happen. The drive isn't capable of reading either.

@Kirk My point is that this update wasn't something scheduled. The others have added new features.

@Kirk Read my previous response.

@ThomasBW84 As I said in a message I sent to the staff (not that they ever seem interested in the specifics), this update was for the browser. It blocked an exploitable vulnerability that was leaked about a month ago.

For those who were wondering, it fixes an exploit that was leaked (and has nothing to do with piracy before anyone gets crazy) a few weeks ago.

@Trikeboy @midnafanboy You are both correct, I've never seen one. However, I can't image spending $350 on something that only costs a few dollars (at most, assuming materials are purchased in bulk) to make. Neither polystone nor paint are very expensive.

Why anyone would pay this much is beyond me. Polystone is nice an all, but it's still a figurine that's not worth much more than $50.

I can't get it to work in Firefox or IE

@Kaze_Memaryu I never made the claim, nor did anyone else who is actually part of the project. Some idiot at Wii U Hax misunderstood what the whole thing was about and said it was a game changer. We don't have any control over what they post on the site.

@FineLerv I just wish that the author would listen instead of making us sound like arrogant fools who brag about doing something useless, and make ridiculous claims like it's the start of homebrew. It's very insulting.

I'm that group you're talking about, and we didn't claim anything of the sort. One of the authors at WiiUHax.com (which is just a news site, not a team as your article claimed) saw the discussion, and because he didn't understand what was being discussed, he (incorrectly) stated that there was a breakthrough. I've been trying to clean up his mess since then. He's modified his claim as well.

In regards to the update, it's an updated version of IOS59, which is the firmware for Dragon Quest X. I don't know the details yet, but it's probably just fixing a bug they found.

Dammit, there was no exploit! How many times do I have to tell you guys that we didn't create anything new, and dumping the bootrom wasn't a big deal. It did absolutely nothing. It was a "just because" sort of thing.

@FineLerv You need to read my post above yours. This article is wrong, and we aren't pro-piracy.

@UnseatingKDawg First off, you don't know anything about me. Second, I feel like you are suggesting I'm pro-piracy, which isn't true. Third, this article is completely wrong, and I've asked the author to fix it, but so far I've gotten no response. This doesn't bring us any closer to running tri-core Linux on the Wii U.

@UnseatingKDawg Yes, we do.

Also, we aren't named Wii U Hax. That's the name of the website that first blew this out of proportion.

This isn't a step forward. Wii U Hax exaggerated the whole thing. All we did was dump the bootrom, which doesn't bring us any closer.

The title is very misleading. The poll is about what they plan for their next game. The title suggests that less than 5% ever plan to create something on the Wii U.

@MC808 No. Devkits are made before the console release. It's the same reason the Wii devkits say Revolution.

As was stated above, this isn't a prototype, just a devkit. You should probably fix the article.

Guys, this is news from Monday. GameStop confirmed that it was just an error with their system a few hours after the rumors surfaced.

@Falchion In response to your post "He didnt say they were great partners, he just said they werent dead." Peter Moore specifically said "Nintendo's a great partner."

These are some pretty decent graphics for a 3D SNES game, especially an unlicensed one!

@Haxonberik Just hold B when you turn on your Wii U. It will automatically go into Wii mode with off-screen enabled.

Only two titles were changed in the update http://wii.marcansoft.com/wiimpersonator/reports/wiiu/USA/20131119-010617.log

This is the opposite of everything that I've read. The Wii U version, while lacking multiplayer, had the fewest glitches and the least amount lag. It looks beautiful too.

Edit: And yes, I have played and beaten it.

The flakes are way too big, and that makes it look cheap.

Nintendo wants to be everybody's parent. This is hardly a new service, as it's just an advanced version of Pictochat from the NDS.

@ToniK I think a more accurate statement is that we care about graphics, but don't let them define our choices in games or consoles. Eye-candy is great, just don't sacrifice the gameplay or story for it.

@Sir420 Articles like this are one of the biggest reasons that stereotypes are even known.

People are dismissive because the premise of the statements are flawed. Nothing holds up without a solid premise. I think it's pretty clear that you missed my point about characters representing a group of people. For example, even if Ganondorf had been black (he's green, despite what this article says), it shouldn't matter. If a stereotype didn't exist, the author never would have made the connection. He only saw an (invalid) connection because of the way he views the world.

People are upset because by implying that the game is racist (among other things), he is himself being racist. This stuff doesn't occur to most people, and you don't find all of these (invalid) points unless you want to see them.

So again, the world would be much better off without articles like this.

@Sir420 What you call "being defensive" is people pointing out that this article is full of flaws.

I think you should read my previous post.

@NintendoLife I really wish you guys hadn't posted this. It just brings more attention to a stupid article that was probably written mostly for attention.

I will say this though: No matter how you believe the characters were portrayed, they are not a representation of an entire people (race, gender, religion, etc.). If a movie has a lazy black guy, that doesn't mean that all black people are lazy. It just means that one fictional person, who is also black, is lazy. If the viewer imagines that there is a relation, then it's just their hangup.

More than anything, it's people's obsession with searching for stereotypes that make them continue to exist.

@Hit-Girl How dare you call The Prince of Darkness fat!

@Hit-Girl That's not true. While his beast form is always called Ganon (to my knowledge), he is also referred to as Ganon many times in his human form as well. There are many theories as to the "correct" way, but the only one that is without conflicting evidence is that the two names are interchangeable.

Homebrew (not illegal, and not piracy) was just shown to be launchable on the 3DS, so this "system stability" update probably blocks what exploit they suspect is being used.

I don't think I've ever seen an update that was for "system stability" that actually improved stability.

It said "(C) 2013 Nintendo" on it, so I just assumed it was by Nintendo. I notice it's been removed from the Play Store though.
